I understand the need for a filter. Parents might give the game to their kids, and some people would just rather not have any obscenities or rudeness thrown their way. However, unlike other AOE games with a language filter, it has been forced on us with DE. If I play with my friends and we want to use foul language it shouldn’t be filtered. If my opponent wants to tell me to stop downloading adult videos when I lag, he should be able to, and I should be allowed to hear it. I know the excessiveness of the filter was fixed, but it still does block some sentences that aren’t inappropriate, and even with 100% accuracy it is still unnecessary for most people. We’re not the dev’s children, I don’t understand why they feel the need to correct our vulgarities. _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/chat-filter-should-be-a-toggle/104745/1))_ ---
